Battle of Castillo de Jagua

The Battle of Castillo de Jagua (September 1719) was fought between the crew of the pirate brig Jackdaw, commanded by Edward Kenway, and the Spanish Navy's coastal fort of Castillo de Jagua in southern Cuba, commanded by Nicolao de la Aguila. The Jackdaw bombarded the fort with mortar fire and cannon broadsides, and the pirates proceeded to storm the fort after its outer defenses had been destroyed. The pirates killed the defending officers, and Kenway assassinated De la Aguila in the fort's war room. The fall of Castillo de Jagua allowed for the pirates to plunder Spanish ships in the southern Caribbean, and the fort became a pirate haven.
